PET/MRI leads staging of invasive ductal breast cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSG09-04 | Room S504CDPET/MRI appears to lead the pack for the initial staging of invasive ductal breast cancer, thanks to the combined information provided by PET, diffusion-weighted MRI, and other MRI sequences.

Synthesized 2D plus DBT yields comparable recall rates
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | RC315-09 | Arie Crown TheaterUsing synthesized 2D mammography images with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) yields recall rates comparable to those of conventional mammography in combination with DBT, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System report.

Annual breast MRI crucial for high-risk women
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | RC215-14 | Arie Crown TheaterResearchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have found that annual breast MRI is a key tool for detecting small, node-negative, invasive cancers in women at high risk for the disease.

Abbreviated breast MRI is sensitive but not specific
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | RC215-13 | Arie Crown TheaterAn abridged breast MR protocol has shown high sensitivity but only moderate specificity in a screening population of women at intermediate and high risk for breast cancer, which could mean high rates of follow-up imaging.

ABUS not needed in at-risk women's screening protocol
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | RC215-10 | Arie Crown TheaterWomen who carry BRCA genes benefit from yearly screening with both MRI and mammography. Because these women can still present with interval cancers, would adding automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) to the mix find more cancers earlier?

CAD improves radiologists' ABUS performance
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:10 a.m.-10:20 a.m. | RC215-09 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this study, a Dutch team compared unaided radiologist readings of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) exams with those interpreted using computer-aided detection (CAD) to determine if adding CAD as a "second reader" could help reduce unnecessary recalls.

Breast ultrasound exam quality improves after passage of density law
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:00 a.m.-10:10 a.m. | RC215-08 | Arie Crown TheaterSince the first breast density notification law passed in Connecticut in 2009 -- sparking an increase in breast ultrasound exams as an adjunct to mammography -- there has been a marked improvement in the quality of these exams, with fewer false positives and a higher positive predictive value, according to research to be presented on Monday.

DBT improves screening cancer detection rate
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 9:00 a.m.-9:10 a.m. | RC215-03 | Arie Crown TheaterDigital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) improves cancer detection rates when the technology is used in an organized breast cancer screening program, according to researchers from Norway.

Screening DBT shows better performance over time
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 8:50 a.m.-9:00 a.m. | RC215-02 | Arie Crown TheaterIn this session, researchers will describe how screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) offers sustainable and continually improving performance, such as increased cancer detection and fewer interval cancers.
